Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded live over several sessions in a London studio, the British saxophonist purposefully kept his backing musicians in the dark about the compositions until the moment the tape rolled. This technique fostered a deeply intuitive, spiritually charged atmosphere of free-flowing jazz, anchoring his softly spoken, life-affirming poetry.
